Based on Lectures by James Arthur

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book based on lectures given by James Arthur discussesthe trace formula of Selberg and Arthur. The emphasis islaid on Arthur's trace formula for GL(r), with severalexamples in order to illustrate the basic concepts. The bookwill be useful and stimulating reading for graduate studentsin automorphic forms, analytic number theory, andnon-commutative harmonic analysis, as well as researchers inthese fields. Contents:I. Number Theory and Automorphic Representations.1.1. Someproblems in classical number theory, 1.2. Modular forms andautomorphic representations; II. Selberg's Trace Formula2.1. Historical Remarks, 2.2. Orbital integrals andSelberg's trace formula, 2.3.Three examples, 2.4. Anecessary condition, 2.5. Generalizations and applications;III.
